Missing home// “For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves" ~ H.Hesse

Throw back to 17' with a piece I unfortunately over worked :/ I posted the latest version a few months ago but I'd like to try another pass on it soon.
This was how the piece looked half way through, and I really love it now! .

"I could not be a poet without the natural world. Someone else could. But not me. For me, the door to the woods is the door to the temple.” ~ Mary Oliver. // Surrender to nature, forget nonsensical "photographic rules", be playful, create your images from intuition, and make room for experimentation. These are the key words of advice I share with emerging photographers to create meaningful art/images. (meaningful=art that you enjoy, or that brings fulfillment to your life. Nothing to do with the duality of pretty/non-pretty pics) -

Landscape painting as an independent genre appears from the XVI century, after centuries in which painting was satisfied with just symbols for its representation, therefore it became necessary to invent a vocabulary for those forms of reality. The mere fact of examining how painters approached nature in their works between the XIII and XV centuries offers countless lessons in this regard, however, a certain reluctance to landscape persisted, so it began as a background motive rather than a motive in itself. Perhaps the greatest development of the genre is due to the impressionists, who considered themselves landscape painters above all, with a strong interest in light as the main element of their compositions, and who with their brushstroke separated the tones instead of uniting them, renouncing to plain colors, wich would make them in time the precursors of modernity in art. -

CHANGES „All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy;for what we leave behind us is a part of ourself:we must die to one life before we can enter another“

I usually loose the notion of time when creating images and editing. I was recently editing this image, when a beautiful track began to play in the background, inside my cabin. It is titled "On the Nature of Daylight", by composer Max Richter; and one cannot avoid to be extremely moved by its melody and pace. I created this image almost at dusk (see the blue light cast?), and apparently it's a beautiful contradiction in relation to this piece of music 🙂. This track is also the main song of the film "Arrival", which is (in my humble opinion) a seriously underrated film that presents "time" as its core concept, in a unique way. So, tell me about beautiful contradictions and connections. Sometimes you realize life can be a coherent totality.
